Years ago, I started using Duolingo to learn French. I made it two or three years daily, until they completely changed the app and I left because I hated the changes. I downloaded it a couple months ago because I wanted to learn again, and found… ugh, it’s just horrible now, how do people even use it still? So I...

My heart just shattered into minute pieces, each crafted in a perfectly similar shape. The shape of his face. He smiled at me just now, passing through the engine room as he inspected the ship. A fleeting smile of a man in a hurry, and it was the best thing he could give me. For half a second he was mine. And then...

This is a letter I wrote years ago in response to a challenge. For it you had to write something to a quality you wished you had more of. I’ve rewritten it to reflect who I am today. What would your letter be to? Dear courage, I thought I’d write a letter to you instead of diving into my life to find stories that...

I’m editing blog posts to add to my digital garden, and just found these doodles in a post from 2014. Why did I ever stop making them? They are so joyful! Here is the story about them: back then, I was on bed rest for a while because I fell and hurt my knee, and I used that time to be insanely creative. One of the...

For the past couple of years I’ve seen the concept several times: punch needling. I didn’t think much of it, I preferred to crochet and knit, and I didn’t need another hobby.
